Claire Danes was on a 3 year winning streak at the Golden Globes. In 2011 she won for Temple Grandin. In 2012 it was for Homeland. And early this year, in January, she repeated for Homeland – the HFPA loves her. Loved her?
Claire Danes was not called today.
Instead, the five actresses nominated for dramatic television are: Julianna Margulies, Tatiana Maslany, Taylor Schilling, Kerry Washington, and Robin Wright. Full Story

Homeland Season 3 Episode 11 recap
That’s the show I remember. So that was the first, maybe second episode of the season that felt like it was worth all of our time, right? Blissfully little Mira (but I may have to accept that Virgil is gone for now) and a fast, fast pace. It felt like coming home. Full Story

Homeland Season 3 Episode 10 recap
God, but Carrie looked extra beautiful this week, didn’t she? Is that Claire Danes, or Carrie? Something in the hair. Is this the hair and makeup department having fun with us? Beginning to show off Carrie’s pregnancy glow?
It’s real now, the pregnancy. Full Story

Homeland Season 3 Episode 9 recap
Well, it happened. We knew it was coming, of course. Carrie and Brody, reunited at last. Dana Brody, still a thing on this show. Saul Berenson, finally fighting for his gig. It’s all here. A different show would have had this be the season premiere. Full Story

Homeland Season 3 Episode 8 recap
It’s hard not to fixate on details like this because they come in such an unusual way. Little dribs and drabs of relationship issues and personal lives that are in such stark contrast to the mechanics of the CIA’s day-to-day.
But seriously. Full Story

Homeland Season 3 Episode 7 recap
So now we know. This was the whole plan. Get Javani to the US, under Saul’s control, send him back as a double agent working for the US. The only problem was the vicious bloodshed and incidental implication of Quinn as random CIA-type murderer. Oops. Full Story

Homeland Season 3 Episode 6 recap.
This episode of Homeland seems to require a very quick cutting to the chase and less rhetoric. So without further ado, these are the questions I have.
How long has Carrie known she’s pregnant? We saw what looked like, to me, a month’s worth of tests, which means, depending how long we believe she’s been out of the hospital, that she’s known about this a rather long time. Full Story

(Sorry, Jacek, I had to)
Homeland Season 3 Episode 5 recap
Other than two very delicious uses of the F word this week, Homeland has now firmly constructed itself – this season, at least – as a show that might be smarter than you and is determined to keep you guessing. This is either immensely appealing or intensely annoying, depending on how you live. Full Story

Homeland Season 3 Episode 4 recap
They got me. In fact, a little Twitter scrolling before I watched the episode tipped me off to the twist, and I still didn’t see it coming in precisely the way that it did.
Before we get serious here, can we just shout out to my Virgil? Back for just a small scene but boy did he make it count. Full Story

Homeland Season 3 Episode 3 recap
Did you love it? Did you sit at the end of the episode and go “That’s my satisfying episode of Homeland”? You didn’t, did you?
Look, I can’t claim they’re playing things safe. If they were, Brody would still be in hiding somewhere within striking distance of the CIA, and Carrie would be sneaking in to see him while maintaining her bad poker face at work, and we’d all be snarking about how they were just running the same race over again, second verse same as the first. Full Story

Homeland Season 3 Episode 2 recap
(Lainey: sorry we’re a day late on Homeland this week. We’re trying to figure out a few scheduling changes. Apologies for the inconvenience and thanks for your patience!)
I hope you’ll pardon the lateness of this review. I feel less bad about it than I might, because I imagine you, like me, spent the time since Homeland’s second episode going… “When did this show start airing on the CW?”
It’s a cheap joke, sure. Full Story

Homeland Season 3 Episode 1 recap
Nothing is, anymore. There’s only what was and isn’t any longer. It’s that weird, quiet space in the aftermath, and the show doesn’t squirm away from it. It’s there.
Firstly, there isn’t the CIA. Obviously. It was summarily blown up. Full Story

One month ago today – Monday – is when she had the baby. A BABY. She was completely and totally pregnant (and striding around Toronto, I thought he was going to be Canadian) and then this is the result a week later.
I mean, I don’t know what to say except that’s genetics and discipline and commitment to your goals, and this happens sometimes. Full Story
